Welcome to Miniatures, the Podcast for the History of Everyday Life. We show how the big picture in history is best seen through the assemblage of individual and local stories, what the German historian Alf Lüdtke called ‘miniatures’. We discuss all aspects of the history of everyday life, microhistory, and ‘history from below’, featuring interviews and discussion with experts in the field. Between 2020 and 2024 this podcast was supported by the European Research Council as part of the 'Dictatorship as Experience Project' at the University of St Andrews.
